While many editions of Kate Chopin's classic novel are in print, only \u003ci\u003eThe Historian's Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e deals exclusively with the 19th-century social and cultural environment from which the novel emerged. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e, Kate Chopin portrays a modern woman who seeks autonomy, subjected to intense social and cultural conventions that first draw her out of her lifelong solitude but ultimately leave her feeling even more alone. This newly annotated edition focuses on how 19th-century ideas about class, gender, ethnicity, and modernity affect a courageous woman's life. Challenging prevailing scholarship by situating the novel within a rich historical context, it examines the social and cultural realities of the 1890s and explains how, in the novel, these forces combine with an emerging modernity to liberate and unsettle its female protagonist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Koloski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440857164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440857164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Bernard Koloski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190769152255,"sku":"9781440857164","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59721015-2d3a-4147-bb76-9a6191143639.jpg?v=1690872260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-historians-awakening-bernard-koloski-9781440857164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
